Going to be a shame to get any dirt underneath this perfect undercarriage.

Yea been thinking about that. Worried that I might be too scared to take it out once its finished. Dumb aye.

Hey guy's, my most humble appologies for being so slack in updating the thread on how progress is going.

My only excuse is that I have had limited time and $$ to spend on the Datto in the past few months as I have been busy planning a wedding for April. Unfortunately the Datsun will not be ready for the big day as I would have hoped, but it's not the end of the world as I will be able to focus on it when we get back from the Honeymoon.

Here are a few snaps of where I am up to with it all the same.

The rear is all together finally and I have actually managed to get it sitting on 2 of its own wheels for the first time in years:

Image

I have set the engine & tranz up on a little trolly so that I can lift the chassis up and lower it over the engine to install it with ease:

Image

Engine sitting in engine bay & bolted it (again):

Checking clearance between clutch/fuel lines & engine:

I have also been reassembling the doors as I have been going so that they are ready for when it needs to be certified, but didn't really think that I needed photos of them.

Am planning on spending next week working on it before I go back to work.

Thanks Brendan.

Probably won't have any other Datsuns there as it is just going to be a fairly small family affair and their are no other Datsuns in the family.

How's life in the shaky CHCH?
